Meet the MiniCat 420 Family


    The Instinct is the base model which is perfect for beginners.  It has a Dacron sail and does not have a boomed mainsail which sacrifices some performance to create a safer learning experience.   

    The Emotion is the perfect sports boat, for a more experience sailors.  It offers a true sporting experience for those that like to go fast, but also surprises with its versatility.  The main sail is made of transparent Monofilm and controlled by an aluminum boom.  This enables the optimal sail profile settings to achieve maximum performance and speed.

    The Evoque is for those that intend to race their boat with the intention of winning!  It uses a carbon bowsprit, boom and rudder instead of aluminum and fiberglass which decreases the weight of the boat.   The sail is made of Monofilm & Racing Polyester X-PLY line.  If you really want an advantage, consider the carbon mast which is an accessory.  

    The Laura Dekker Edition is top of the line! It has the same carbon fiber upgrades as the Evoque as well as a traveller and a eye-catching carbon fiber Poly-X racing main sail and jib.  The newly designed trampoline has an embroidery of the Laura Dekker signature logo.   For those that do not know, Laura Dekker became the youngest person to circumnavigate the world.  She did so on a 12-meter bright red Kelch named "Guppy" at age 16.   A signed copy of this very inspirational young lady's book, "One Girl, One Dream" is included with every boat.

    Accessory Pro Tips


      The MiniCat 420 is the most customizable boat in this market segment with a range of accessories for all types of sailors! 

      Do you plan on racing?     You should consider a Trapeze Set, a Rolling Genna, a Storm Sail, a Traveller, and a Wind Flag

      Are you a leisure sailor?     The Additional Front Trampoline is the perfect spot to stow your beach towels, picnic basket and beer.  An Inflatable Seat and a set of Neoprene Shroud Covers make it a little more comfortable as you catch the wind and some sun on that beautiful summer day.  The Ladder makes it easy to get in and out of the boat when it’s time to take a dip.  

      Will your boat be stored outside?     Keep your sailboat looking new and beautiful!  A Protective Boat Cover, Protective Rudder Cover and Float Supports protect your investment from the sun, dings, scratches and kids that think it is a bounce house.  

      Would you like to reduce set up time?     You can carry the boat to the beach and inflate it with the handpump that is included with the boat. Or you could speed up the job with a handheld High Volume Inflator to quickly inflate the boat to around 1 psi. With this pump, you will still need to use the hand pump to inflate the hulls to pressure.  A Pressure Gauge will enable you to make sure that the boat is inflated to the proper pressure for peak performance.  You could also set the pressure and forget about it with a Automatic Inflator.   Once the boat is inflated and ready to go, roll it down to the beach with one hand using a Transport Trolley.   *New for 2023,  check out the Trampoline Set.  This clever device will knock 10 minutes off your assembly time. 

      Are you learning or teaching?     You will probably flip the boat if you get caught by a gust of wind and don't know what to do. (Hint; Just release the main sail!) If you do flip the boat, it is no big deal.   It is easy to flip the boat back over, especially if you have a Mast Float.

      Will you travel with your MiniCat?      Wheeled bags are a no brainer and a must for train staions and airports.  Purchase this as a bag replacement upgrade when you buy your boat and save 60%.  

      Are you sailing far from shore or in spotty wind conditions?     We highly recommend a Telescopic Paddle for those pesky times when mother nature decides not to cooperate.  Depending on the extent of your adventure, it may be essential that you have an outboard motor as an alternate propulsion method.  If this is your plan, you will need an Engine Support to go with a small long shaft outboard motor.   If you do not already have an outboard,  we suggest a Torqeedo 1103 C Long as an elegant companion to your MiniCat.

      “Since the first time I saw a MiniCat being sailed (circa 2009) I was so impressed at how so much fun could be had from a sailing boat that you could carry in a bag.”

      -LAURA DEKKER YOUNGEST SAILOR TO SOLO-CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE WORLD


      “What does Great Lakes Watercraft Think?”

      We personally think the MiniCat 420 Laura Dekker Edition is the best bang-for-your-buck boat offered by MiniCat. It is very fast, easy to sail and can even be outfitted with an outboard for use as a tender or for when the wind dies down. The boat assembles in 20-30 minutes and can be stuffed in a hall closet when not in use. You are getting the best quality parts and with all that carbon fiber it has a sense of high tech about it.
